What do I do now?

Luke 22:39-53

6/18/23
Why do I struggle with this? Does being a Christian mean we must suffer? Does loving God mean we won’t suffer? Is there a wrong response to suffering? There are struggles that will hold us back if we allow them, but knowing that Jesus struggled, gives us hope.

Struggle
“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me.” v42a
Submission
“Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” v42b
Strength
“Get up and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation.” v46b

Action Points:
Know that your struggle is real and that God is in it with you.
Get to a place of submitting to His will.
Draw upon His strength when you are weak.
Choose “Garden Friends” carefully.
